Lassa The Viking the Dragon’s Inferno

by Dean Yurke

Narrated by: Simon Marks

Epic Battles with Comedic Relief!

A young man and his brother are conscripted to fight in the Viking Army during the 11th century. Lassa is a simple teenager who has zero skills and is not a fighter. To avoid certain death during his first battle facing huge, tough warriors, Lassa hides in the back letting everyone else do the fighting. That is until he trips and accidentally kills the Saxon leader. Then he becomes a “hero” that everyone expects brave and miraculous leading. Lassa discovers the true adversary of the Vikings is the Dragon King and Lassa finds he is the one destined to lead the Viking army into battle.

The author, Dean Yurke, is a masterful story crafter of the short and humorous comedy of errors that keeps the listener on the edge of their chair just waiting for the next hilarious misstep by our unlikely hero. Yurke provides strong dialog, rich and vivid details, and strong flawless character development. The plot twists are comedic moments are noteworthy and executed impeccably. I thoroughly enjoyed the growth of Lassa and his comedic moments thoroughly.

The narrator, Simon Marks gives a gifted performance providing a unique and expertly timed deliverance. His talented performance gave life to Lassa and other characters, making them real. The unique voices for each character made them more realistic and believable. The injection of emotion was well-time also and appropriate to the character and situation. I hope to hear more from Simon Marks.

There were no issues with the production or quality of the audiobook.
